Triple John and the double Spider  Triple John, this rather precarious balance triple man (he lives his life in three times, shortly separated) had to fight against the Double Spider, which is quite badly named, since it's not a spider, and it's not double. Here, a challenge for Triple John : the concert. One can see john 2 playing guitar on stage, and John 1 leaving the room and John 3 coming in (falling on the floor, hit by John 2). (from Encyclopedia, volume III : Hagiography)

Good News ! We already know the winners of the main Music   Competitions for the next ten years.  For instance, the next  Durosoir Price will be won by   this  wonderful female cow (with all her udders) who   wrote a piano sonata (the third) entitled "Josiane aux   champs".  No doubt all the pianists will run to buy the   score, study it and perform it all over the world.  http://vimeo.com/8594044

Don't look at me like that  This sensitive fish works with telepathy. It communicates a strong feeling of guiltiness to the one staring  at it. It's an excellent defense system, since few predators have enough self confidence to go over this  overwhelming feeling. Even fished, in the plate, its sad eyes gives a horrible feedback to the eater. (from Encyclopedia, volume I)

crWth Sarhan/Metzger/Godeau//Bernat May 17- 24, 2009 Nirox Foundation/Arts on Main, Johannesburg home concerts, Encyclopedia (a few articles) presented by Henri-Jacques Glaçon a musical performance of François Sarhan Arts on Main, Johannesburg, South Africa

History might not be what it is said to be, or at least, one can suppose many episodes which happened, or were close to happen, are not reported. In music it is the same: many musical traditions, instruments, phenomena are unexpectedly hidden, ignored, carefully stolen from the attention of the innocent reader in the traditional music histories and encyclopedia, and as we could expect, they are forgotten also by today’s musicians THEMSELVES.    Would it be because they never existed ?    Very unlikely.     It’s mostly because of scandalous political pressures on one hand, and because of the pusillanimity of the artists on the other. Happily, and thanks to the courage of a new school of researchers, episodes like the Ripolswka singer, the true story of the cider-brain, the twelve Twell sisters, the terrifying invasions of the Orgue-accord, the musical street of Pilastro Pippironiro and many others are now available to the a large audience, for the sake of Truth and Beauty.    Many examples, both visual and sound will be given with live performers, and elegantly presented by Prof. Henri-Jacques Glaçon, Dr Honoris Causa of the New Southampton Royal Music Academy of Science.
